Using search

Opening search

Look for the Search members, events… pill in the top of the page on desktop, or the magnifying-glass icon next to your profile picture on mobile. You can also:

• Press ⌘ + K on a Mac
• Press Ctrl + K on Windows or Linux
• Press / when you're not typing in a field

All of these open the same search palette.

What you can find

Search covers the five things you navigate to most often:

• Members — names, emails
• Events — titles; same-named events (e.g. "Club Night") are disambiguated by date and venue
• Teams — names
• Competitions — names
• Applications — only visible to committee members with the right permission

Typing at least two characters starts the search; results are grouped by type.

What you see depends on where you are

Search respects the part of the app you're currently in:

• Browsing admin pages (anything under Admin) — you see the full admin view, including Applications and Competitions. Results link to the admin detail pages where you can edit.
• Browsing member pages (Dashboard, Calendar, Directory, etc.) — you see the member view. Applications and Competitions are hidden, and results link to the member-facing pages (directory profile, event page, team page).

This means that even if you're a committee member with full access, searching from your own Dashboard gives you the same experience your members get — useful for checking what something looks like from their side.

Keyboard navigation

• ↑ and ↓ move between results
• Enter opens the selected result
• Cmd/Ctrl + Enter opens in a new tab
• Esc closes the palette

Recents

When you open search with an empty box, your last five opened results show up so you can jump straight back to them. This list is stored in your browser and is private to you.
